Why host on your website
Some brands want every reader experience under their own domain and CMS. Others need to hand a finished package to a client IT team. Hosting and embed options cover both.
You are not limited to sharing only a pdf-flip.com link.
Three ways to publish on your site
Download & host
Download the complete HTML flipbook and upload it to your server or a client site.
Embed
Paste an embed snippet so a flipbook or bookshelf appears inside a page on your site.
Interactive cover
Use a cover element as a clean entry point that opens the full flipbook experience.
Page media such as videos and hotspots stays with the flipbook when you download or embed, so readers still get the interactive version.
How teams ship it
- Finish and publish the flipbook in PDF Flip.
- Choose download, embed, or interactive cover.
- Place it on your page or upload the HTML package.
- Test on desktop and mobile.
- Share the site URL with your audience.
Common setups
Brand site catalog
Embed the latest book on a product or resources page.
Client delivery
Hand over a self-hosted HTML package for their infrastructure.
Library page
Embed a bookshelf so visitors browse the full collection.
Details that matter in practice
- Self-host when you need full control of files.
- Embed when you want updates without redeploying a package every time.
- Combine with a custom web address for a branded hub link.
- See Pricing for download and hosting availability.
